What could cause Your water heater has a constant leak from overflow into tray at bottom of tank.?
Spitball
It could be a bad overflow valve or the thermostat could be set to high and the heat is creating the leak. Also, if the test lever on the TPR valve is 'tested' or lifted, it is possible, if not likely that sediment inside the tank gets lodged in TPR valve preventing it from closing. This will create a contiuous leak from discharge tube into pan until valve is successfully closed.

there should be 2 hoses going into that firewall for the heater core, it is probably bad. find the 2 hoses and connect them together until you can repair the heater core, at least it will be driveable. one end of the hose attaches to where the top radiator hose connects to the motor, and the other end is on the water pump towards the bottom of the opposite side.

Thermostat stuck will it cause antifreeze to come out the overflow hose of the heater core?
The heater core has no overflow hose. Cooling system is a closed loop system and the only overflow hose is the one going from the radiator cap to the reservoir. A thermostat that is stuck closed will cause the engine to overheat. Drain and flush the radiator, replace the thermostat, install a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water, bleed air from the system. You may also need to replace the radiator cap. Be sure and replace these parts with OEM parts.The heater core has no overflow hose.
